Hi, just found this site linked to a post at metalmeet. I'm always building my own specialty tools and I'm looking forward to looking around.

MetalMeet is a great site! What kind of tools do you build?

Hi addes426,

Welcome!

What sort of tools do you build? Let's see some pics!

Do you have any projects underway at the moment?

It depends on what I need. My last tool was a sawzall blade with shoulders welded on both sides about 3/16 above the edge of the teeth. I used it to cut into a 2" PVC conduit and not cut into the wire. I'm an electrician and often need odd-ball things. I once made an adjustable jig that sat on a floor jack, for holding and mounting a 3rd member into a rearend. Raised it up with the jack, cranked a jack bold and backed it right onto the studs, worked slick. Other things too, I just never thought about them too much past their use. I I've never taken pics, just used the stuff. I'll have to change that won't I.

Hi addes426, looks like you've got a collection of homemade stuff that the community would be interested in seeing. Welcome to the forums!
